1970s | Twin Hart | Knit Top | Black – 10

Description:

Item:
Original 1970s knit top by Twin Hart in black acrylic with contrasting grey trim. The piece features a ribbed knit body with short sleeves and a distinctive stand collar with a short buttoned placket. Grey accent striping runs across the collar and shoulders, with additional trim details near the hem. The knit is cut in a relaxed, slightly boxy silhouette typical of 1970s knitwear.

Era:
1970s

Brand:
Twin Hart

Condition:
Excellent vintage condition with strong colour and clean knit structure throughout. Light signs of wear consistent with age but overall very well preserved.

Provenance Note:
Acrylic knitwear became increasingly popular during the 1970s as manufacturers embraced durable synthetic yarns that could hold shape and colour while remaining easy to care for. Pieces like this combine practical construction with the decade’s bold styling details, making them ideal everyday garments with distinctive vintage character.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with the bust measurement, then check length. Vintage sizing runs small and cuts vary significantly from modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on bust measurements using the following sizing scale:

UK 6 (30–31")

UK 8 (32–33")

UK 10 (34–35")

UK 12 (36–37")

UK 14 (38–39")

UK 16 (40–41")

UK 18 (42–43")

UK 20 (44–45")

For jackets, knitwear, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down to allow for structure, lining, bulk.or layering.
